Thankful Me

Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends. I wish we celebrated it in Australia.

Thanksgiving is about counting your blessings, it's about having a thankful heart
each and every day, focusing on gratitude. And putting it into words reminds
you how good life really is. So I am celebrating Thanksgiving.

I am blessed and thankful for so much ...

Family ... family is my world

the joy my granddaughter brings

Laughter; it's the best medicine around

genuine friends ... there for the good, the bad, the sad and
ugly.

the amazing book blogging community - YOU, the friends I've made, the book love
shared, interesting discussions, fun and generosity.

FitReaders for being motivating and inspiring and supportive when
I least feel like it and most need it ... thanks girls :)

improvements in health no matter how small, I am grateful

photography and capturing every special moment

music is a warm place and a safe harbour, it uplifts, inspires, comforts and consoles me

travel ... near and far and wide, it opens your mind and heart

for all the simple things, hugs, smiles, raindrops, rainbows, mown
grass, flowers, fresh veggies, the smell of fresh bread, and coffee, sunrises and sunsets and today
some not so simple things like aircon and a pool ;)

animals ... I love animals. My love and appreciation has limits, it does not extend to mice, cockroaches you can put a saddle on, moths the size of bats, grasshoppers or spiders *shudder* lol

acts of kindness, most people are good and kind, we need more
kindness in our world. Why not join me and do Coffee Cups and Crayons -Random Acts of Christmas Kindness. Megan has a RACK
calendar to print out or a blank one to design your own. It's not a big
expense, just a little time and kindness.

What a wonderful post! It is good to take time and think about everything in our lives that we are thankful for. Sometimes our Thanksgiving Day can be too focused on the food and stress of family visits or traveling.

I love your list. I am definitely not thankful for bugs of any kind :)

I am thankful for your blog and your fun reviews and blog posts and the kind words you share whenever you visit my blog.

Happy thanksgiving- and great post! So true- and I'm thankful for not only my real life blessings, but also the wonderful book bloggers I've met over the last few years. Who knew? Such a great group. Hope your day is awesome. :)
